As Dereck Chisora prepares to face the British Boxing Board of Control in March, Sports Mole reviews some of the punishments that have been handed out in the past.

Dereck Chisora may be facing a substantial ban from boxing after his brawl with David Haye in Munich on Saturday night.

The 28-year-old will appear in front of the British Boxing Board of Control next month.

While some reports are suggesting that a lifetime ban may be issued, Sports Mole reviews the punishments that the BBBofC have dealt out in the past for similar offences.

1985: Mark Kaylor was fined £15,000 - reduced on appeal - after a pre-fight brawl with Errol Christie.

1994: Hide and Michael Bentt were fined £10,000 each and handed warnings following a press conference fight before their WBO heavyweight title bout.

2000: Mike Tyson was fined £125,000 for continuing to punch Lou Savarese after referee John Coyle had ended the 38-second fight. The punishment was also for distasteful remarks Tyson made about Lennox Lewis following the fight in Glasgow.

2003: Audley Harrison was fined £1,000 for a ringside brawl with Herbie Hide following the Olympic super-heavyweight champion's fight with Matthew Ellis in Bethnal Green, where Hide was a spectator. Hide was fined £500.

2011: Rhys Saunders was banned from boxing for nine months after he confronted opponent Gary Cooper in the immediate aftermath of his debut fight, in which he suffered a first-round stoppage. The fight in Newport was Saunders's debut bout and the result was later changed to a disqualification. The lengthy ban was for a combination of the disqualification and unacceptable, unsportsmanlike behaviour.
